Sign: Loud Enough?

We’ve all heard about it by now, that a horribly naive ‘writer’ for the San Jose Mercury News is for some reason trying to make Staples Center a harder road game for the team he is covering by calling it a quiet, ‘Kenny G’ experience.

I believe Rich Hammond first posted this, and it has since irked every Los Angeles based Kings fan with access to the Internet.

Did you mean as quiet as the HP Pavilion was on Saturday when the undermanned Kings, minus the suspended Jarret Stoll, were routing the Sharks, 4-0, to tie the series at a game each?

A disclosure: Mark Purdy was the sports editor of my college newspaper, the Daily Northwestern, when I was a freshman. I recall one of the first assignments he gave me was to cover powder-puff football. I thought his judgment was lacking then and I know it’s off again now.

OOOWEE!

I didn’t want to link to the article itself because it’s just a horribly written fluff piece to stir up controversy. But since our devoted little foul mouths are the first commenters on the story, click here for the link, but be prepared to be offended (at the article more than the comments I hope).
